BELONGING

Belonging is our birth right.


But early in life, many of us received the message that some aspects of ourselves are unwanted, unwelcome or unworthy of belonging. So we begin to hide or exaggerate, shun or prioritise these different aspects of ourselves.

In this workshop, we’ll explore the many dimensions of belonging:

To our bodies.

To our families.

To our cultures.

To our stories, our suffering, and our resilience.

We will also embody, explore & express our own obstacles to belonging; the parts of ourselves who were once our strategies for "fitting in" and have now become a glass ceiling to living in a way that allows all of us to feel seen and accepted.

This workshop is grounded in the rich & fertile foundations of two transformative practices: the model of Internal Family Systems, and the map of the 5Rhythms.

Flowing invites us into intuition and authenticity—how we belong to movement itself.

Staccato calls us into connection—how we belong in relationship with others.

Chaos welcomes our wild, untamed nature—how even the mess belongs.

Lyrical opens the door to our creativity and imagination—how we belong to what we dream.

Stillness holds the mystery, compassion, and spaciousness—how we belong to what cannot be named.

Schedule:

Friday: 7pm-9:30pm

Saturday: 11am-6pm

Sunday: 11am-5pm

Me and My Shadow

 “When it is dark enough, you can see the stars.”

~ Ralf Waldo Emerson

The 5Rhythms® map is a dynamic moving practice. 

Each respective rhythm Flowing - Staccato - Chaos - Lyrical and Stillness have an incredible and versatile terrain that can be explored over and over again.The 5Rhythms® also have their shadow side.

During our time together using the Shadow map, we are be invited to explore the parts of us that we would often rather not see, feel, sense or be with. Instead of pushing away from it all, which by the way takes a lot of energy! Let’s give ourself a break and permission to open the gate and get down into the nitty gritty of the shadow! We will embrace and embody their archetypes with playfulness and curiosity.  Loosening them up and bring them to life!

The 5Rhythms philosophy has no judgment.

With this medicine, we open a door for us to become a more conscious human being that can have the capacity to be comfortable with the uncomfortable and compassion for ourself and others. 

We will connect with our shadows through movement, self reflection, compassion interwoven with breath in the safety of the container we build together.

5Rhythms® Wave, Ritual Theatre, Yoga, and SOMA Breath® will be part of the modalities that we will use.
